I don’t care if you get on the escalator and park it, I really don’t. If I’ve had a bad run the day before, my legs don’t want to lift my ass either. But once that escalator stops moving yours, it stops moving at all. So start again. Lift those feet. Shoo, vamoose, andale! Don’t stand there with your mouth open, looking around like a stoned groundhog who has just emerged from the depths below, and don’t get pissed off when you suddenly have me so far up your back I should be demanding a saddle for comfort. Same thing goes for you fuckers who like to walk by right in front of it. I’m not running backwards into the person behind me just so you can keep from deviating out a goddamned foot, and statistically, most of you appear to be rakes coated in spandex, so if anyone’s going to go flying from an impromptu body check, it’ll be you. —I Just Want to Get Higher

i usually just keep going, if you are stopped in front of me, too fucking bad. they are people movers, not for fucking daydreaming or gasp, even going the wrong way. i have had a few idiots try to pass me doing that. i’m not a large person, but when you try that shit, i become fucking gigantic in your way.
Everyone watch out. Escalator badass over here.
i find escalators bring out the spetsnazspaz, i try to avoid them
As someone with two fucked knees and a cane, anyone behind me can fucking well wait. The next cunt who’s breathing down my neck will get my boney old elbow right in the ol’ solar plexus.

My terrible depth perception makes escalators an adventure where they meet the level floor.
I ride escalators just for da hoes.
I didn’t know escalators were such a bone of contention until I started reading bitches. Had *no* idea. I mean really- the ones around here, even if you’re behind someone slow it might stop you up for thirty seconds to a minute.

Lolz, zZz. Sounds messed up enough to be real. Makes a rather good argument for the eugenics movement, doesn’t it.
just think if it was broke down for a while and she starved to death…
darwin would have saved us the trouble.
At what point do you suppose the trapped passengers would resort to the ultimate taboo. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventur…
What is that in your avi Hugo?
looks like the vatican to me…
Ah yes.. I knew it looked familiar.
In busy parts of the world, you stand on the right, and walk on the left. Sort of like the rules of the road.
Surprisingly, you don’t see many great big fat people riding escalators because, surprise, they can’t see their feet. It’s normally just the fatties that are well on their way to never seeing their feet again who still take the escalator. These people tend to assume the fatty position when they get onboard, that being the middle and holding both handrails thus blocking all traffic.
Humph….my reply’s gone.
Yes, it is the Vatican, St. Peter’s square. More pics to come, I’m an amateur photographer, don’t cha know.
Cool Hugo, post links, I will check them out. I was over there around 2000, pretty gosh darn awe inspring.

tj – one thing I noticed, is that most of Rome’s “art” is plundered/stolen. If the romans weren’t such theives in the past, there wouldn’t be much to see today.
pg – more animal pics comming, they’re mixed in with all my other pics.
